No God? No Problem: Commentary and Reporting
According to a reporting on ABC news, 'This holiday season, after the marathon of shopping and stressful travel comes to a close, the masses will finally gather to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. But one group says it is using the most religious time of the year to call attention to the plight of an often forgotten group: non-believers and atheists'.
All this brahahha because there are people out there that are not believers or traditional believers for that matter. Particularly many Christians forget what their founder of their believes have said about loving your fellow human being as you love your self. That includes listening to him/her as you wish to be listen.
If you are Gay you can hear all these stories about what Hetero's do at work, at home, in bed, etc. etc.
If you are Jewish or Christian you hear their religious stories. If you are a so called "Born Again' or Jehovah's or Latter Day Saints(Mormons) now they go and preach and spread their message almost everywhere. You hear these people try to get converts at public locations, TV, Radio, Signs, Posters, etc.
If you are a non believer, Christmas time is a daunting time. You have to be part of rituals you don't believe. Many times just to keep the peace.
Now, non believers are saying enough. There is a lot of repression on this people and they are saying, No! No More.
They want to be heard. Yes, no matter how right you or me think we are...guess what? There is another point of view out there. Yes, there are people that for their own reasons don't believe what others believe religion-wise. What a surprise! What rights do they have? Why should they just go along?
Why can't we give these people their rights according to the American Constitution and even Christ! Let them be who they are and if anybody have the right to preach their religious believes..then they have the right to say 'I don't agree with that'. Particularly at Christmas time!
What? what about kids seeing these signs of opposition? If they hear other people's views now, they wont be haters latter on when they meet these people at school, work or next door to where they live.
May the spirit of Brotherhood, Understanding and love be with everyone!! During Christmas and every season of the year.

Below you will see some of the ads paid for by the American Humanist Association -- an organization of non-believers -- have been popping up on television, radio and on billboards in cities across the country:
The Bible: 'A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach authority over a man; she must be silent," sayss one of the ads. "Humanism: 'The rights of men and women should be equal and sacred ...'"
The group has also launched a billboard campaign, which have gone up in cities across the country, including Seattle and Madison, Wis. One of the billboards reads "Yes, Virginia, there is no god," playing on the line from an 1897 editorial in the New York Sun, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus," that inspired a popular Christmas story.
The association said it chose to launch the campaign at the end of the year to promote its agenda and counter the religious overtones of the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah holiday
